Integrate with Kandji

Automatically provision, update and deprovision users in Kandji from JumpCloud using the Identity Management (SCIM) integration. Leverage this integration to centralize user lifecycle, user identity, and group management in JumpCloud for Kandji. Save time and avoid mistakes, as well as potential security risks, related to manually creating users.

Read this article to learn how to setup the Kandji integration.

Prerequisites

• A JumpCloud Administrator account
• An updated Kandji account.
• A Kandji user account with administrator permissions.

Important Considerations

• Kandji SCIM API is based on version 2.0 of the SCIM standard.
• If at a later time, you need to update the API Token, you will need to deactivate the integration before you can change the base URL and new API key. After you make the changes, you can re-activate the integration.
• The following provisioning features are supported for users:
  • Create users
  • Update user attributes
  • Deactivate users
• Groups are not supported.

Attribute Considerations

• A default set of attributes are managed for users. See the Attribute Mappings section for more details.
